Synopsis

In the violent metropolis of Mega City, the power of the law is entirely handed over to ‘judges’ - who act as police, jury and executioners - with Dredd (Karl Urban) being one of the city’s most terrifying. After being partnered with Cassandra (Olivia Thirlby) - a relative amateur with psychic powers - they head to a perilous area controlled by drug narcotic lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey), who will stop at nothing to protect her territory.
